For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in according to their own desires. II Tim 4:3-4
I once knew an old preacher who served a church that punctuated his sermons with constant "Amen's". Their "amen corner" was the size of a choir, and twice as loud. They liked and agreed with everything he said. He told me that the real learning began when the "amen's" stopped, and the "Oh boy's" began. How about us? Will we endure teaching that makes us say, "Oh Boy, that hurt a little." Ear tickling is fun, but seldom productive to learning.
